Dear Paul, Don't blame "evsurplus" for the parting out of the truck. The junk dealer who got it from a USAF auction did that. EvSurplus just wants it off his property. I know who it is and I think I know why. Also AFAIK the truck is NOT a native NiMH unless we are discussing t...

The battery "fuel" gauge will "wag" after the aux power or the high voltage has been disconnected. The first (and only) time that I have seen this was after dropping the battery box to install the fire suppression system. It does this to indicate that it no longer knows where...

What do you mean by thermal limit cutoff? You have to charge until the charger says complete and the charger turns itself off. Otherwise, without a complete charge, your gauge will continue to do that. And yes, if you have interrupted power in your 12 volt system, then the bac...
